Consent under Duress

Autor Tom Dougherty
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 dec 2024
Consent can make actions morally permissible. But consent can be deprived of its moral force when it is given under duress. Understanding how this happens requires answering the question of which types of duress undermine consent. It is uncontroversial that severe coercion, like threats of violence, can prevent consent from creating moral permissions. But what about minor duress? Duress from natural causes? Duress from social norms? Duress that is merely apparent to the consent-giver with no objective basis in reality? To answer these questions, Consent under Duress defends an account that follows two key approaches. First, it adopts an expansive approach that broadens the class of misconduct that is constituted by acting on someone's consent that is given under duress. Second, it adopts a scalar approach that allows that consent can be invalidated to varying degrees, which in turn can track the degrees of the severity of the duress to which the consent-giver is subject. The expansive and scalar approaches work in tandem. Once there is an expansion of the aforementioned class of misconduct, additional theoretical resources are needed to draw moral distinctions within this heterogeneous class. By providing these resources, the scalar approach supplements the expansive approach. Meanwhile, once it is recognized that consent can be partially invalidated by minor duress, it is necessary to expand the class of what constitutes misconduct that is constituted by acting on someone's consent that is given under duress. By developing independent arguments for these mutually reinforcing approaches, Consent Under Duress offers a robust defense of their combination.

Recenzii

This is a very thoughtful, compact, and elegantly constructed book, and it will undoubtedly be of interest to those working in the area of rights around sex, medical care, and interpersonal ethics, especially those who emphasize the role that consent plays in the proper regulation of interpersonal conduct.
